Grants

The City has created Markham’s Canada 150 Neighbourhood Grant program to mark this special anniversary by strengthening connections right where our residents live – in their neighbourhood. Grants of up to $500 are available to support Markham residents and community groups in undertaking neighbourhood projects that encourage participation in marking Canada’s 150th anniversary throughout 2017. Ideas include tree plantings, sharing stories of Canada, historical neighbourhood tours, potluck featuring childhood favourites – all creative, interesting ideas are welcomed!

The Celebrate Markham Grant provides funding to non-profit community groups and organizations for arts, culture, sports and seniors’ events and programs that bring the community together and increase tourism.
